Taking a Comfortable Charter Bus Tour around the Last Authentic Coastal City of South Carolina

Delight in the Sights and Sounds of the City’s Busiest Boardwalks, Waterways and Beaches

The town had its first beginning in just one square mile and it was known only as Old Town, sitting on a bluff on May River. Today, Bluffton is one of South Carolina’s fastest growing municipality and many of the residents are proud of the fact that its eclectic Old Town District is one of the most natural ways to get a good view of May River. It is called ‘the last true coastal village of the South’. Due to its year-round friendly humid subtropical weather, any time is a good time to visit the city and due to its location, it is a popular destination for vacationers, families and tourists. The city has a rich history during Colonial era and the country’s Civil War so, when you make your way through forts and museums, you will learn about a time when the city was resided by the Yamasee people led by Scottish settlers in Beaufort and also learn about the Yamasee War before they migrated to Florida. Also due to its strategic location, during the Civil War, Confederate soldiers took control of the area because it was where they could gather direct information and intelligence about the Union. The Civil War brought down many historic structures around the city and only two churches and eight antebellum homes remained. In 2005, the city was recognized as a Preserve America city through a federal program that encouraged community efforts to preserve the country’s rich culture and historical assets.
